NEW - Now Westland offers a second outstanding boat cover support system. It not only supports your cover, it also vents your cover to prevent mildew build up so your boat will stay dry on the inside. The Westland support/vent system utilizes a strong upper two-piece vent that's placed in the area that will best support your cover so water will run off. After installing the top half on the outside of the cover and the bottom half on the under side of the cover, insert the adjustable support pole and adjust to proper height to support the cover. (The installation of this pole requires a hole to be cut in the cover)

Once we get the cover properly fitted and install the vent pole I am confident that it will keep our boat and cover in top notch shape.

vented pole supports.by Jimmy from Burnet, Texas on October 26, 2014

I'm using the poles, but have not installed the vents yet. I'm hesitant to cut the canvas to install them, since there are snaps installed where the poles are to be placed. I have enough wind that there is no problem with mildew setting in under the cover. I'll get around to it, just haven't yet.

Vented Support Poleby Thomas from Acworth, Georgia on October 23, 2014

I did not notice in your add that the cover comes with 2 vents - so a vented support pole is not necessary. The cover add suggests use of a vented support pole, so that is why I purchased it not realizing the cover has built in vents.

Easy to install.by Wallace from Bloomfield, Indiana on September 16, 2013

This Support Pole was easy to install as the instructions were clear and easy to follow. As we are in late summer with hot days and cool moist evenings the ventillation that this provides is keeping the uderside of the boat cover dry. I believe that this was a wise purchase.

Product is a bit expensive but appears to work as advertised. Pole is well made and easy to properly install. Time will tell if it is effective in reducing mold and mildew but I believe it will be beneficial.

Vents Great and Works Great When The Pole Stays Properly in Placeby Julie from Lexington, South Carolina on April 29, 2013

As other reviewers have said, I should have bought two for my 232 Bryant boat but didn't know at the time. I guess because I didn't, it put too much stress on the one I did purchase, which I placed per the instructions but now when I lock it down, after a few minutes it slides down anyway and doesn't keep the top tight. I'm disappointed, but hopeful that the second one will work in place of the first, and I can move the original to the front of the boat where I don't need it to stand as tall. Besides this problem, this is a great product and I'm glad I purchased it.

Great productby Donald from Adrian, Michigan on April 14, 2013

In 35 years of boat ownership I have replaced a number of boat covers because I did not have this support pole. This product should eleminate the damage done by snow and water accumulating on the cover.

support poleby Philip from Colleyville, Texas on December 07, 2012

I was nervous about cutting the hole in my expensive new cover to install this but the material (sharkskin plus) was so resistant it took a while to cut. Apeears the vent section will hold firm to the cover and I expect great results.

I got this with the Westland Hydamax cover I ordered. The cover already comes with vents sewn in it so I didn't cut a hole for this and instal it, instead I just use it to keep the cover from sagging in the middle so the water will run off better.

Easy to install and use. Much better than using an oar or 2x4 to prop up a sagging cover!
